This is the gateway to the South of France. If you come on the RER you will be disappointed as the station seems to be entirely underground with the platforms located in a number of halls. However get outside via the main entrance where there is a busy and unremarkable square. There are a number of restaurants around where you can sit in the morning sun. The most authentic part of the station is in close proximity to the Train Bleu restaurant and nearby is a vintage shopping arcade with a number of eating outlets. If you waiting there it is interesting to observe the vast number of high speed trains coming and going.

Train station is clean and very crowded. Lots of nice shopping. If you get first class ticket you can sit in Quiet clean friendly staff business lounge. Staff at desk is very helpful. When getting on train the scan on phone train bar code ticket didn’t work in the line we were in so nice staff member was standing there to scan ticket. Train on time.

Travelling to Zurich so this was the station for departure. A ver big station. We needed assistance which was easy to get and my wife was wheelchaired to the train and given every help to board. Great service, Booked tickets on line so can't comment on that.

Maybe the prettiest train station in town because of the lovely restaurant found here. Underground you will find a big mall with connections among transit options plus some shopping. This place can be very busy as it is the station that travelers use to go to the South.

Large station in Eastern Paris on the right bank across the river from Gare d'Austerlitz and near Gare de Bercy. Getting here can be a pain as few metro lines pass through here. The station itself is usually busy, but not as chaotic as Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est. Not too far to walk to Gare d'Austerlitz over the bridge/river, but don't do it in the rain. Car traffic here can be gridlocked at times, so best to avoid renting a car here or parking here - take the metro or a taxi instead.

One of several train stations in Paris. If you want to go to the South of France, this is the one you’d use. The staff on the platform were very helpful and spoke great English. They have signage all over, to help you find where you need to go. The train itself was decent, but rather cramped in second class. Overall, definitely a nice way to see the French countryside between Paris and Aix-en-provence!

One of the few stations we visited dur8ng our visit to Paris. We reached here from Geneva. The station is great but not busy like montparnasse. The signs are well marked for shopping, food, taxis, and restrooms. The restrooms are maintained well. Short walk from the platform to catch your taxi.
